Hi,
on my current Samsung Galaxy S3 have a microSD Samsung 32GB Class 10 (read 24mb/s | write 13mb/s) but passing to the LG G3 wanted to get another but from 64gb and faster.
I have seen that there are currently those with reading speed 90mb/s and writing speed 80mb/s.
I wanted to know, what would be good for the G3? I'm interested in the speed but also the long-term reliability.
Always used Sandisk in all my devices. Theirs Ultra range seems quite enough.
---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------
And remeber that even though the cards have high read/write specs, the device itself may no be able to cope with them.
the SanDisk Ultra ( http://www.sandisk.it/products/memory-cards/microsd/ultra-plus-class10-for-android/?capacity=64GB ) should come up to 48mb/s, meaning there are also the Extreme of up to 90mb/s but they cost a bit 'too.
Is it unknown to what speed the LG G3 allows read/write?
Samsung class 10 ! Capable of 48 MBps and waterproof(24h) x-ray proof and extreme temperature proof
more than 48MB/s does not make sense to consider them?
I have had a 32gb Sandisk Ultra in my Note 2, but when upgraded to G3 I also upgraded my memory card. I went with 64gb Samsung Pro MicroSDHC UHS-1, which offers speeds of up to 90mb/s read and 80mb/s write. The phone cannot fully benefit from those speeds, but there is quite a noticeable difference in speed between this Samsung Pro and Sandisk Ultra.
The product code should be Samsung MB-MG64D/EU and should cost around 10€ less than the Sandisk same capacity and performance.
But more or less the microsd up to that speed arrives in reading and writing within a smartphone?
Why are you so worried about speed? Most of the time the phone accesses internal memory, not the card.
Yes, sure, I just wanted to buy a microSD newer than the one I use now in the Samsung Galaxy S3 ( read 24mb/s | write 13mb/s ), that's all.
so do you think it's worth spending twice as much for a microSD with the speed of 90mb/s compared to a 48mb/s?
Nope.
Ok then I orient on a microSD up to 48mb/s.
I have to choose between Samsung EVO and SanDisk Ultra, both up to 48mb/s and 64GB, the SanDisk Ultra costs slightly more.

i was wondering if i get a 32gb micro sd...does the galaxys2 support it? and where is hte cheapest i can get it from?
According to the specs on GSMArena it says that it does, but that also depends on the brand you get. There are a lot of sellers who has it but some of them are fake 32GB cards where you put it in and it is actually a 16GB or the class is actually lower than advertised, for example a class 10 really is a class 2 or 4. Just make sure to buy it from a reputable place, like Newegg or something.
It will work. I'm using a Sandisk Micro SDHC 32gb Class 4.
Newegg was selling 32GB Micro SDHC's for $35 not too long ago, not sure if the deal is still there.
Like someone said, there are LOTS of fake one's out there. Make sure you get it from reputable reseller, Newegg, Amazon, etc.
Yes, the 32gb will work.
I just placed an order for a 32gb class 10 from amazon that comes with card reader for $61.... with prime shipping it should be here friday morning.
The fact that the SHDC slot is not hot swappable is pretty annoying, so I am going to leave this 32gb card in my phone and hopefully I can use the USB host cable I ordered with a usb-micro sd reader for extra space on the go.
Ordered a 32 gig class 4 earlier off third party Amazon seller for 44 bucks shipped. Will test it when I get it and report back

32GB SanDisk Class4 @ 1saleaday for $29.99 (about 2 week ago) = No problems.
Sandisk class2 at Amazon for 37.99.
Class 2 won't be too great for recording video... HD especially.
I've had my eye on the 32GB class 10 ADATA cards for a while, and since I just got a SGS2 maybe it's finally time to get one.
(Man. First few posts... can't provide links to the card I referenced... can't post in the development forums... I feel so restricted. :| )
everyone getting these ~$40 class 2/4 cards.... why not splurge for another $20 and have more than double the transfer rate?
Turns out the Galaxy S2 series even supports Micro SDXC (aka, 64 GB and up) cards too...
It's just that the stock kernel doesn't support exFat, so you have to re-format the card with FAT32 (at least until kernel devs can get exFat support worked in).
64GB has been confirmed to work, and with 128 GB around the corner, the possibilities for storage are pretty endless... Assuming you have the cash that is.
Coming from wp7 we learned that sandisk class 2 and 4 cards out benchmarked other cards of higher class. Not all cards but a few of them. The wp7 os was so sensitive to SD cards.

I'm curious about the Class 4 vs Class 10 war update.
When I had my Infuse, it was really determined that the Infuse 4G hardware really didn't take advantage of Class 10, so weather you buy 2 or 10 the speeds seen were the same on that device. Wondering if anyone has any experience with this handset, and can tell me with certainty if there's a difference on THIS device. I'm happy to upgrade, but want to know things like "Scanning Media" will significantly go faster to make the upgrade worth it.
Thoughts\Opinions\Dirty looks appreciated.
I would guess you wont see real world differences with class 2 vs class 6/10..other than video recording/playback. but when transferring files there is no way a class 2 can compete with higher rated cards.
and I wish I knew about the SDXC cards working... might have to order one and send the 32 back.

When you say file transfer, my understanding is the transport hardware samsung is using slows down the transfer. Do you know this to be true\untrue? I just don't want to buy class 10 and not feel a wooosh of faster speed. Think I'm better off staying put w\ 4?
I can't definitively say that the phone slows transfers since I haven't seen a reliable source report that.... I have yet to try the class 10 card myself since it hasn't arrived. I only know what has happened with the cards I do have.
From what I read in regards to card class and phone use, the majority consensus seems to be that in order to get "true 720" video you need to have a card rated higher than class 2.. considering this phone does 1080 recording I didn't want to be cheap.. for an extra $20 I got a card from a reliable manufacturer and source that was the highest class and capacity available, it wasn't a hard choice for me.
I transfered a couple 3.5gb .mkvs over to the class 4 card I currently have in the phone and it kept timing out or the transfer times would jump up to 30+ minutes and then fail nearly every time. This card works flawlessly in other applications so it might very well be the phone slowing down these transfers. I tried with a variety of other class 2 and 4 cards with similar results. Plugging any of the tested cards into the card reader in my pc transfers the files without a hitch.

Good observations. I'm kinda in the same boat as you. That was my experience. I ran the SD Card test on the Class 10 I had and the Infuse said it was just SLIGHTLY faster than the Class 4, so i kept the 4. At the time it was about $30 vs $65, so wasn't worth it for mediocre performance. Now I'm starting to think maybe it's worth it. I just don't like that when the card gets full of photos and songs, it takes forever to Scan Files every reboot or USB plug in\out
Lifehacker did a write-up awhile back.
http://lifehacker.com/5804661/does-it-matter-what-class-micro-sd-card-i-have-in-my-android-phone
I've also read that it is a TERRIBLE idea to use the phone as USB storage as the speeds are horrendous. I can vouch for this as my Transcend 32GB performs faster in the usb adapter than through the phone. Why? I have no idea

well I just bit the bullet and bought a 32gb class 10 (i have class 4 now) from amazon. They're great with returns so if it doesn't give me a boost, back it'll go
At B&H Photo Video, very reputable seller, free shipping via snail mail. The SanDisk Ultra cards are rated class 6 but outperform most class 10s in read and write speeds, including the Samsung cards (I need to understand the class rating system a little better). Worth checking out! Great, reliable name..great seller. Don't get ripped off out there folks... Lots of junk cards and ripoffs (counterfeits), especially on Ebay. Anywho, best price I could find for these cards. Hope it helps. All we need is the darn AT&T Note to put it in! bhphotovideo.com
This performance study was done a few months back...before SanDisk Ultra 6 appeared. SanDisk claims up to 30mbs read time on the 6, a bit less on the write time, better than most, if not all, class 10s

Where are you getting your information from? Show me evidence where an android phone performed better with a class 10 card than a class 2-6.
The only time you will ever notice the speed difference between a class 4 and a class 10 microsdhc card is when you use it in a DSLR camera that can optimize the speed. Cell phones can't. You are wasting your money buying a class 10 card.

If you are planning on buying memory cards from eBay you run the risk of getting a counterfeit. Its happened before to me and a lot of other users here. Just exercise caution.
Look people, I don't want to see anyone get taken advantage of or mislead with erroneous information. If you are using a DSLR camera or high speed camcorder you are not going to see the difference between a class 4 and class 10 card. Save yourself some money and piece of mind and buy a class 4 or 6 card from one of the reputable vendors online. Unless you like throwing away your money.
Amen Brother!

I had a samsung 8gb class 4 card that came with my htc inspire 4g I like to take alot of files to and from work and wanted to put all my apps on a card also so I got a PNY 32gb class 10 card and I noticed alot of speed difference in how fast files transfer and apps run off the card seem to run better than off the class 4 so for $50 I think it was well spent I'm happy with it
forums like these have taught me that i dont need to spend the extra coin on a Class 10...tx to many for that lesson.
when i have the Note in hand, i plan on buying a Class 6 even tho many preach a Class 4 is fine
Simple...just get a standard class 4 32GB microSD card. You can get them for as cheap as $30 on Amazon...basically $30-40 range.
Either Sandisk or Transcend kind will be fine.
And definitely exercise extreme caution if you order any of them from ebay...especially since those HK-based vendors have been known to sell false merchandise.

hi I'm looking for a decent class 10 and above 64gb micro sd card for my z3 as I have ran out of space on both my phone memory (16gb Z3) and my 8gb class 4 card that really needs to go as its unreliable with my z3 and severely outdated, I've been searching on amazon for 64 gb cards but everyone I look at has mixed reviews saying that there good bang for buck with the correct read/write speeds as advertised but others saying the cards are fake and don't have good read/write speeds like with the orange Samsung evo and SanDisk ultra cards I been looking at. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a decent 64gb class 10 micro sd card?

I had a 64GB Sandisk Extreme Plus, and it failed on me right after my 2-week vacation. EVO will do just fine as I have not experience failures from it yet. Go with Samsung Pro if you don't worry about spending more money. The difference between the EVO and Pro is the speed--Pro can go up to 90 MB/s, while EVO can do up to 48 MB/s. I have both of these from Amazon, and I can say that the EVO's speed is more than enough for my usage of the phone. If you are into 4K recording on the phone, go with the Pro though, as 4K may need that extra speed.
Currently, there are deals on these: http://slickdeals.net/f/7874453-samsung-evo-class-10-microsd-card-64gb-24-32gb-14-16gb-10
Thanks for the info, il go ahead and get a EVO card then, I only use my phone for photo's and apps/games, no 4k recording so it will do the job just fine ?
+1 on on the Samsung cards. Excellent performance. Sandisk has ended up in my trash can far too often..

4k at this current moment would be satisfied with the EVO linus tech tips has a video on it
Samsung Pro / Lexar (aka Crucial/Micron) / Sandisk Pro and above, should all be good.
So im guessing Sony SD cards are a no no even for Sony phones?
I know Samsung makes the ram and some other stuff for sony phones but wouldnt a sony sd card be most optimized for best use with a sony phone?
Which of the following three looks best...
(Note this Sony card is a new release and has the greatest speed)
Sony 64GB Class 10 UHS-1 Micro SDXC up to 70MB/s Memory Card
SanDisk Ultra 64GB UHS-I/Class 10 Micro SDXC Memory Card Up to 48MB/s
Samsung 64GB EVO Class 10 Micro SDXC up to 48MB/s
(I cant post links so copy and paste those on amazon if need be)
I bought a SAMSUNG 128GB EVO UHS-I CLASS 10 MICROSDXC Micro in ebay (don't have the link at this moment).
It cost me about 50 dollars and it's working great so far.
You can find them in Amazon also at almost the same price.
Totally recommended.
+1 For the Samsung SD´s. Have never failed me yet..

Hi,
I'm thinking of purchasing the newly released 200gb Microsd card, however I'm wondering if anyone has tried one and if so what are the Write/Read speeds like?
Also does anyone know if it would work with the Z3?
In my experience, most devices (at least high end devices) should support it.
I bought a 128 GB micro SD and it's working great.
Usually, the information the companies show is because they talk of the biggest micro SD capacity available at the moment of the release of the device.
I'm quite sure it should work.
My 128gb microsd is in half full, so I musn't buy 200gb microsd card, becuase is 3x bigger price than my 128gb
So, is there any news on this subject?
Does the phone support the 200gb card? Or even the 400 gb?
be first
Title says it all. What memory cards are people using, what in the consensus best option?

sandisk is another good memory card
I simply used samsung because I had these cards unused a long time ago...
I have had problems with Sandisk in Samsung phones but not sure if that issue has been fixed... That was a while ago...
Samsung 512gb SD card works well too...
I'm going to reopen this discussion, if folks are willing.
We all want high capacity cards. The Tab S4 is a laptop replacement tablet after all is said and done.
All Amazon prices.... (6/28)
So you have four choices....
SanDisk Extreme, 1TB (now available on Amazon) for $427. 88
SanDisk Extreme 512GB for $169. 99
SanDisk Extreme 400GB for $85.49
Or
And Samsung EVO Select 512GB for $100
According to reviews the SanDisk cards have a higher read speed than the Samsung card, but the same write speed.
Seems to me the 1TB card is just too expensive. The faster read SanDisk 512GB card is more than 50% more expensive the equivalent slower read Samsung card. The SanDisk 400GB card is half the cost of the 512GB card.
So which do you choose and why?
I currently have an older SanDisk 400gb card, am leaning toward the 512GB SanDisk. But salivating over the 1TB card.

Tab S4 is limited to 400gb sd card per spec or has it been tested with 512?
Sent from my SM-T830 using Tapatalk
The SDXC format is good to 2TB. They had a similar low "upper spec" for my Tab S2 of 256GB and 400GB worked fine. Virtually everything I've read says that the upper spec they quote is not based on the reality of the hardware. The way one site explained it was that the upper spec is set by marketing based on the largest available card out at the time the marketing material was generated. If I could afford it, I'd go for the 1TB card without any worries
There are several, other card brands out there now on Amazon for 512GB cards around $100. It is hard to find direct head-to-head reviews of the actual 512gb cards, but it seems like it holds true that they all write at about the same speed, but SanDisk Extreme reads faster - but costs 50% more.
A possibly unrelated aside, I've attached a 1TB hard drive via USB without any issues outside of the pain-in-the-*$$ that NTFS gives. As far as I can tell in the memory manager, USB OTG drives and memory sticks are treated the same as the SD card.

Well, if you read the earlier posts you'd see I use a 512gb sd card...
What you need to remember is that the specs put out are generally what was available at the time...
No company is going to put out that the tablet will support a 2Tb card as that isn't currently available but that is what SDXC is supposed to support, then it will go to the next standard., Heck, most phones available at the moment won't support the 1Tb card according to their specs as these were NOT tested pre-release...
